Finally....

I have just cat back Dinan exhaust. Would it be better to just get this instead of paying a bunch of money for an X-pipe?

LightWerkz · 07-03-2013, 09:09 PM

Definitely looking forward to picking this combo up.

From what I've read, 80-90% of the gains you get from an X-pipe you get from just deleting the primary cats (what the test pipes are replacing). The biggest negative for me is having to cut your stock X-pipe.

I figured... just wasn't sure. Thanks

We will be doing a direct comparison soon of our cat Delete Pipes vs our X Pipe.

Looking forward to this comparison. I'm currently running TP's + tune but I'm actually upgrading to a full x-pipe (MRF non-catted or resonated) because I believe there is room for improvment over a (chopped up) stock OEM x-pipe that is mass produced.

Technically it is still the later part of that second week.

I am a bit impatient as I am not happy with my current set up and do not want to repeat tasks.

Did this project die off, scrapped?

More of an inspiration for an update.

Imran@Evolve · 08-05-2013, 11:04 AM

The first batch did not pass quality control so they are being re-done. Sorry about the delay.

aus · 08-05-2013, 06:20 PM

Nice to see you have standards and will not ship junk out!!!

If one had an Akra tune but didn't like the smell, could you run these with the same tune, or would a different tune be needed? I know there's a difference in the cats.

The Akra tune is different because we counter the low end torque dip so the tune for these would be slightly different.

We have fixed the quality issue with these so they will be available from us in about 2 weeks.

We will also be offering them as a package with our tune.

Done in a local shop or as your X pipe also in Italy ?

And when will you compare the test pipes against your X pipe to see numbers ?

Which part is better ?

Test pipes are cheaper, but your X pipe looks like a beauty, but how about hp numbers to compare both setups ?

Imran@Evolve · 10-16-2013, 04:56 AM

Had a chance to test these on a customers car last week. Full write up including pictures and videos coming up soon along with a group buy packaged with our tune.

For now here are the dyno graphs. Car is stock except Eisenmann Sport Rear Exhaust.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
